Projects that you don’t control are causing you to feel depressed. You can only do your small part. If others are not seeing the big picture, don’t take it to heart. They will get it eventually, although eventually is probably too late. It would be wise for you to start to make other arrangements especially if the previous situation is one that you have been depending on. Start to make your plans for moving on to something new.
Although times are difficult for new beginnings, it is better to forge ahead on your own rather than waiting for the other shoe to drop. Some areas of business are still in decline and will not come back in time to meet long standing obligations. This is the business cycle and unfortunately, some people find themselves on the down side of this cycle. That is how it is when people take big risks. There are big ups and big downs.
Start to put your social networks in order. You will need to be prepared for the coming transition into a more independent situation. You have been waiting a long time to make the break so just make sure that you are mostly prepared. You may need to dip into your finances to carry you over the short term.
Complications are likely. You probably feel torn between two different scenarios. Lean toward the one that gives you more independence even if it has slightly more risk. You may have a short period of anxiety but then your ideas take off.
